'Fugitive Of The Week' Arrested Hiding
Out in Kelley Street Apartment

Concord,
NH - “Fugitive of the Week,” Micky Garst, 25, was arrested this
afternoon by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

Garst was
featured as last week's U.S. Marshals - "Fugitive of the Week". Mr.
Garst was wanted on an outstanding Hillsborough County arrest warrant
for failure to appear on a charge of being a felon in possession of a
firearm. Based on this offense, Garst was considered to be armed and
dangerous.

This afternoon, members of the task force from several
agencies including; Hillsborough & Strafford County Sheriff's Offices,
the Greenfield Police Department, along with Immigration & Customs
Enforcement (ICE) and deputy US Marshals, made a concentrated effort in
Manchester to locate Mr. Garst. After several hours of interviews and
surveillance, it was determined that Garst was hiding out in an
apartment in the 300 block of Kelley Street in Manchester. Members of
the task force approached the apartment and when Garst did not respond
to requests to open the door, entry was forced. Once inside the
apartment Garst was quickly located and arrested without further
incident.

Garst was transported to the Hillsborough County Jail,
where he will be held pending his court hearing regarding his failure to
appear.
